The first round of online junior college admissions will wind up on Saturday. It is the last day for students to confirm their admission at colleges where they have been allotted a seat. By Fridayevening,66,958 students from all boards had secured admission through the online process.
Most colleges have finished confirming the admission of a
majority of students allotted seats (online) in the first round. Several seats
will go vacant because students who have already secured admission offline will
not bother to confirm another seat online, said a senior education department official.
More than 84,000studentshave already secured their seats through offline admissions
this year.
The first merit list was announced on July 27 and close to 1.64 lakh students were allotted seats. However, only 66,958 admissions have been confirmed.
This means there will be more seats available in the second roundof admissions, said the principal of a south Mumbai college.
A large chunk of students will avail of the betterment option on the second list, which will give them a chance to bag a seat in a college of their choice.
By Saturday evening, colleges will have to surrender their vacant seats, which will then be used for the second round of admissions. The second merit list will be announced on July 4.
